Creating Thumbnail of the Day from Directory?

[Will_W]

I'm running a stupidpics folder on my website. Right now it's just a Apache Index, of all my pics. I am wondering if it's possible for php to grab an image every 24 hours, make a thumbnail and display it on the index page with a link back to the picture it grabbed from the stupidpics directory.

If it is could someone tell me some usefull links or examples that could help server my purpose. My website is www.bonfireprogramming.com the stupid pics folder is locatated
www.bonfireprogramming.com/stupidpics/

Thanks

You can grab the files, then randomly (or however else you want to select, from an array, etc.) display your pics outputing the thumbnail size in html.. If you want to really reize the image your outputting (faster downloads) you will need the gd package on your server and then "image generate" the new sizes..

See this old DevShed article I archived for reference..

I would like to resize them in php because when you set the image size in html it becomes all screwerd and doesn't look right.

I will take alook at that gd library see if I can work it out. For some reason your link isn't working with Mozillia/linux so I can't look at it but it's cool found enough on gd from google.com
